100 Years of Saskatchewan History

This exhibit celebrates 100 years of Saskatchewan history.

This introduction area dramatically sets the stage for 1905 by giving an overview of the long and eventful story before provincehood.

A First Nations female mannequin from about 1850, a young Métis man from about 1870 tell the story with two other mannequins, an immigrant woman from 1890 and a politician in 1905. A mural in the introduction areas shows a pristine parkland view before European contact.

Events on the 1905-2005 timeline chronicle Saskatchewan achievements and challenges during the first 100 years of the province. An authentic log home tells a compelling story of early hardships. Two carved figures symbolize the sacrifices people made when they left their homelands. The Theatre celebrates Saskatchewan people and places.

  • Let’s Have Fun

    How do we unwind after the work is done? In a province with two very distinct seasons, winter and summer fun are very different. From skating to snowshoeing, tennis to tenting, we spend our downtime alone or with friends and family, indoors or outdoors, in sports or in cultural pursuits....
